Space Pirate armed with Plasma Beam technology.​ Space
Pirates have reverse-​engineered several of your weapons,​
including the Power Beam.​ A flaw in the design makes these Pirates
vulnerable to their own Beam weapon system.​ These weapons are
inferior to your Chozo-​designed originals,​ but still quite
potent.[2]

Team is attempting to reverse-engineer Samus Aran's arsenal, based
off data acquired from here assaults on our forces. Progress is
slow, but steady. Command would dearly enjoy turning Aran's weapons
against her. We believe we can implement Beam weapon prototypes in
three cycles. Aran's Power Suit technology remains a mystery,
especially the curious Morph Ball function. All attempts at
duplicating it have ended in disaster; four test subjects were
horribly broken when they engaged out Morph Ball prototypes.
Science Team wisely decided to move on afterward." —Space Pirate
